What is its level of support for interactive 3D plots? Is it build on top of Matplotlib?

Plotly's 3D viz is built with WebGL & SVG, using libraries like regl & stack.gl. SVG is used for axes & text and WebGL for the high performance rendering of points and surfaces. Surfaces, lines, points, and subplots are all supported. See https://plotly.com/python/#3d-charts.

For more complex 3D objects, Dash users can use dash-vtk. This includes things like point clouds, CFD simulations, 3D mesh, or 3D images.
